Agenda for Saturday October 19, 2019 World University and School / WUaS Corporation

Monthly Business Meeting

1 - World University and School is seeking our 2nd online undergraduate class for 2020 as we begin BPPE licensing for online free-to-students’ CC-4 OCW best STEAM Bachelor - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School

 - and Ph.D. degrees - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Ph.D._Degrees_at_World_University_and_School

 - in English. With time wiki WUaS seeks to create major online CC-4 OpenCourseWare Universities in all ~206 Nation States, each a major university - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States

 - and their main Languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages.

2 - World Univ and Sch is seeking funding for first licensing with CA’s BPPE for the fees, as well as for accreditation fees, including committed funding over years. WUaS is a 501 c 3 - https://www.guidestar.org/profile/27-3105368.

3 – World Univ and Sch is now streaming WUaS Q & A and News on Mondays at 10 am PT via LightStream video conferencing platform which records to Youtube - https://youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch - and has new functionality. If you'd like to talk in the Green Room here please let me know. WUaS announces these with this #Hashtag - https://twitter.com/hashtag/WorldUnivAndSchNewsQandA?src=hashtag_click - here - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch.

4 – WUaS has inquired with Google Director of AI Peter Norvig about coding CC-4 MIT OCW for students at World Univ & Sch, keeping student’s time in mind, and in so many other ways:

i) Peter Norvig - could you incorporate this pedagogical approach as well please with regards to Home Robotics with Lego Robotics, programming and play as well -
https://education.lego.com/en-us/lessons/ev3-cim/make-a-cnc-drawing-machine#Planitem3 ?

See, too: Scratch drag & drop programming language https://twitter.com/medialab/status/1184516873209163776 (Swahili) is multi-lingual & also works wi Lego Robotics' WeDo2 & MindStorms EV3 https://twitter.com/LEGO_Education/status/1184559875654901762 but not yet in #RealisticVirtualEarth #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego wi Brick Street View in Google Street View

ii) And to Laurence Moroney (@lmoroney), Lead of AI Developer Relations at Google / Artificial Intelligence Advocate at Google

Thanks, Laurence - World University and School, as we begin to code CC-4 MIT OCW's courses in 5 languages into our Wiki pages and for academic credit (as WUaS licenses with CA's BPPE) seeks to code with TensorFlow and potentially with Google Translate as well. Have inquired with Peter Norvig about this: "...Would love to be in touch too about how best to develop CC-4 MIT OCW in 5 languages+ into online degree programs at World Univ & Such and in related countries, given your knowledge from your amazing Intro to AI course some years ago (https://www.mcgill.ca/maut/current-issues/moocs/history), and also re - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/shoaling-and-schooling-stanford-center.html . Thank you!" Thoughts or suggestions, Laurence?

(See too, for example, some MIT OCW AI courses in the AI wiki subject at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence - accessible from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - to see how WUaS will work as WUaS brings this WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki together with our "back end" Wikidata / Wikibase in Wikipedia's 300 languages). Sincerely, Scott (scottmacleod.com and worlduniversityandschool.org)

6 - The Web and WUaS 

WUaS is continuing developing in Google: 

A) See, for example - https://local.google.com/place?id=13580134555851014887&use=posts&lpsid=7580312689174074403 - where adding a photo and announcement every week currently. 

B) Google search on World University and School to see, 

C) and/or go to  g.page/world-university-and-school

D) worlduniversityandschool.org

WUaS seeks to develop fully with Google in many ways.

7 - WUaS Medical Schools are planned in ~200 countries' official languages online: 

Blogged about this here -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/chimera-genetics-searched-on-virtual.html.

Am interested especially in age reversal, and via genetic engineering
reversal, in general, and for longevity too.

And how would one reverse engineer the effects of a stroke in addition
to "eustachian tube dysfunction," for example, and especially in a
realistic virtual earth for STEM? Am thinking here further Google
Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth at the cellular and atomic
levels, and with species and TensorFlow and especially integrated with
CRISPR gene editing technologies) - and for further exploration of the
actual-virtual, physical-digital for which I have some active
#Hashtags in Twitter in these regards, eg see, -
https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1182761798333652992
- where I'm glad Dr. Rob Califf at Duke recently posted this Lancet
paper and a scientific paper with Digital-Physical in its title. I
haven't seen this before and Rob is a former FDA commissioner.

8 – WUaS Law Schools are planned in ~200 countries' official languages online: 

WUaS seeks to collaborate and build on:

CodeX: The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics -
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL48E61C121CAD0E1B


Online & hybrid learning in legal education conference- https://law.du.edu/online-learning-conference/conference-schedule

9 – UC Berkeley Anthropology

Scott MacLeod is planning to give another talk/paper in the UC Berkeley Anthropology department in March 2020, tentatively entitled - "Harbin Hot Springs, Music and Ethno-Wiki-Virtual-World-Graphy" at the TOURISM AND MUSICAL IMAGINARIES' Conference http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?m=1103050552852&ca=46c4af21-fddf-466e-ac95-de8df705dced (See Scott's previous 4-5 Harbin Anthropology talks (at UC Berkeley TSWG) here - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html)

10 - Scott MacLeod is planning too to teach newly a course entitled "Virtual Harbin" (Anthropology), in addition to "Society, Information Technology and Global University" (Sociology) - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - in 2020-2021.

  

11 - World University and School has an active ethics' and legality investigation into Stanford University.

Agenda item: Chair of World Univ & Sch's Board suggests Stanford is stonewalling. Is Stanford stonewalling this inquiry, and how can World Univ & Sch proceed with collaborations with Stanford Medicine and Law in particular, but more generally as well?

12 - World Univ & Sch is in communication with Reed College, and I was glad to meet the incoming Reed President Audrey Bilger over the Reed FAR 14th of September weekend; see picture here - https://reedcollege.smugmug.com/Alumni/Forum-for-Advancing-Reed/Forum-for-Advancing-Reed-2019-September-1315-2019/i-gsWQ3pq/A (And see more photos here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/parachute-plant-ceropegia-methodology.html).

Some weeks after this, World Univ & Sch talked with Reed College (Amy Hesse) for 40 minutes about further collaboration potentials on both wings of WUaS. And after hearing from Dean Alice Harra minutes after this call, WUaS sent Reed 2 draft internship job applications (which WUaS began creating in conjunction with Reed in 2015 - for Federal Work Study positions, and brainstorming-wise).

13 - WUaS Financial report

World Univ & Sch has $1,347.55 in our non-profit bank account, and hasn't begun financial operations.

(The parallel legal entity, the WUaS Corporation has .01, and also hasn't begun financial operations; see the WUaS Corporation section below).  

14 - Stanford Center for Latin America's Cafecito's holds classes in Quechua and Spanish, as well as English, and some online - see: https://mailchi.mp/stanford.edu/first-cafecito-quechua-happening-tonight?e=94f78f5eea? …

How best to collaborate online in Quechua and Spanish, as well as English – and with World Univ & Sch? And how best to communicate further about this? Please remember that World Univ & Sch seeks to be in all 7,111 known living languages as wiki schools, and Quechua would be a great beginning to this, - as well as that Spanish is one of World University and School's pilot languages (in addition to English and Chinese), and that WUaS seeks to offer online CC- 4 MIT OCW-centric Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, and M.D. degrees, in addition to I.B. high school degrees in Spanish, beginning with licensing / accrediting on https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/spanish/ (accessible from https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ ).  

The Quechua wiki schools will be available from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages.

Thank you!

15 - World Univ & Sch is in communications with Semester at Sea (which is not yet in a realistic virtual earth, for example, that I know of): 

Hi Autumn, Karen, Nicole and Dennis, 

I'm taking the opportunity to say hi to you all (with whom I'm also connected in L.I.)

I’m continuing in an out-of-the-box way to develop CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World University and School, which is a bit like Semester at Sea in very broad envisioning, and seeks to create online MIT OCW-centric universities in all ~200 countries' official and main languages, as well as wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,111 known living languages. The online Bachelor, Ph.D. Law, M.D. and I.B. high school degrees will be free to students (with reimbursement planned from countries' and governments’ Departments of Education in all ~200 nation states, for example). In a related ‘realistic virtual earth’ vein, am also continuing to develop my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project, and in conjunction with this, for WUaS to facilitate developing a realistic virtual earth for everything - think Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth at the cellular and atomic levels too / TensorFlow / Translate and with avatar bots of individuals and species and which is group-buildable a bit like Second Life, but with realistic avatar bots, not cartoon-esque ones. Hopefully this will dovetail with ships' navigation systems and we'll be able to visit the 10 ports we visited in 1999 again virtually, for ex., thanks to all the photos and videos we together add to this virtual earth which will then all be patched together into a whole earth. See, for example, the photo I added to the Harbin Gate in Google Street View here ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~) … and here esp. - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Harbin+Hot+Springs/@38.7860806,-122.6518315,3a,111.3y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipOR33JEA3qzAchuAOEFPss-U_w6cXPc-OsiNgSE!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipOR33JEA3qzAchuAOEFPss-U_w6cXPc-OsiNgSE%3Dw203-h153-k-no!7i576!8i436!4m8!3m7!1s0x0:0xde57c3ab0ecaa2c9!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d38.7860806!4d-122.6518315 .

There's a 'Semester at Sea' label in my daily blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Semester%20at%20Sea - and check out, for example, the 'global university' and the 'virtual Harbin' blog labels among others. And on my web site there's a bit about Semester at Sea as well - http://scottmacleod.com/SAS2005/SAS2005index.htm (accessible from http://scottmacleod.com).

What are you all of you up to?  (How's Carol, Prof. Dennis Galletta?) And who has sailed again with Semester at Sea since our voyage in 1999, - and when? :)

Thanks for your message, Autumn.

Warm greetings, Scott
